Traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that the body is controlled by a flow of energy, referred to as qi, and pronounced "chee." According to ancient texts, qi travels through pathways in your body called meridians. Acupuncturists believe that interruptions with energy flow in these meridians are responsible for modern ailments.
Acupuncture improves your body's functions and helps boost its self-healing processes through anatomic site stimulation - usually called acupuncture points. To stimulate acupuncture points, professionals typically insert fine, sterile needles you're your skin. Most patients feel little-to-no discomfort as the needles are applied. Typically, needles are left in the skin anywhere from five to 30 minutes. After their session, patients often report an incredible feeling of relaxation.
While some practitioners still adhere to traditional acupuncture philosophies, modern acupuncturists take an integrative approach. Today, professional acupuncturists use the therapy to stimulate the body's natural healing and pain-fighting processes. When coupled with personalized chiropractic care and physical therapy, patients can find real relief from painful physical conditions.

With a systematic treatment plan, patients can find help for painful symptoms like:
Professionals practicing acupuncture in Mendham Borough, NJ, use several techniques to achieve overall patient wellbeing, from Cupping and Gua Sha to Needling and Facials.
Made popular by Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, most acupuncturists describe cupping as giving an inverse massage. Rather than using pressure to release tight muscles, acupuncture cups create a suction effect. The suction pulls on muscles and fascia to relieve tension and improve blood flow. Like a massage, cupping is very relaxing for patients. Most people describe it as enjoyable, although the suction cup markings may look painful to friends and family.
Acupuncture cups are made using various materials, including glass and plastic. Cupping applications also vary - some clinics go the traditional route with cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, and fire. Other applications include manual placement with silicone suction points. Usually, patients receive one of two cupping styles. The first uses stationary cups, which remain for about 10 minutes. The second uses moving cups, supplemented with massage oil to let the cups glide over painful areas.
Also called "dry needling," chiropractors and acupuncturists often use this technique to reduce trigger points within soft tissues and muscles. In this application, acupuncturists use a sterile needle and insert it into the trigger point, which fosters a feeling of "release" that helps reduce muscle tension and pain while boosting mobility.
Trigger points are hypersensitive, irritable skeletal muscle areas formed in rigid bands of muscle fiber. Trigger points lead to neuromuscular dysfunction and manifest in painful symptoms, increased stress, and lower overall functionality. During an acupuncture session, these needles are applied to trigger points, which cause a twitch, essentially releasing and restoring proper muscle function.
Gua Sha is the practice of using tools to scrape the skin and apply pressure to painful areas of the face and body. A Gua Sha is a flat, hard tool, usually made of stone. Recently, Gua Sha has taken the skincare world by storm, but the technique has been providing relief for centuries. It is one of the oldest forms of Chinese medicine used to boost blood circulation and energy flow.
In traditional Chinese, Gua means to press or stroke, while Sha refers to redness. Gua Sha usually causes small red spots or bruises to form, which are also called microtrauma spots. When using Gua Sha on microtrauma areas, your body elicits a response that can help break up tough scar tissue. When paired with professional chiropractic care, Gua Sha can be quite effective, even for moderate injuries.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Township announced its big plans to light up Mosle Field last month, with a second budget presentation scheduled for tonight, but the hearing was pushed back to a later date.
The Township Committee Budget Meeting will still take place on Monday, Feb. 27, according to township officials, but the recreation budget presentation has been rescheduled.
At tonight's meeting, there will be no formal discussion of the Mosle Field Project proposal and it will instead be held on Mar. 13.
According to Mendham Township Parks and Recreation Director David Guida, the committee recognizes that the entire community should have the opportunity to weigh in on this project. All residents are invited to complete this survey by Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 11:59 p.m.
The Mosle Athletic Field project includes a lighting proposal for $880,000 in upgrades to Mosle Fields, including new lighting on the football field, baseball field, and parking lot.
The project would cost around $880,000 in total and include new lighting on Mosle Field's football field, baseball field, and parking lot. Guida stated that the recreation department would ask the township to cover the entire cost of parking lot lighting and electrical services, which would be $180,000.

This lighting enhancement would benefit the Twin Boro Bears football and cheerleading program and the Mendham Chester Patriots baseball/softball program the most immediately, as both serve over 500 Mendham youth athletes.
These leagues have also agreed to split the cost of their field lights 50/50 with the township.
A 12-year-old Mendham Township Middle School student spoke at a previous committee meeting about the fields' "terrible condition," claiming that the poor lighting and lack of dugouts on the baseball field make it difficult for kids to play.
Randy Lee, a local football coach in the township, also spoke before the council, saying firmly that, "the need is now, we are in desperate need."
Some residents were concerned about the project proposal, citing issues ranging from potential negative environmental impacts to increased traffic and financial implications for community members.
Diana Orban Brown, a local resident, even advised the committee to investigate the viability of additional funding sources before committing to the project. She proposed that a referendum question be put to voters before committing tax dollars to proposed improvements.
A question in the township-administered survey about the project asks residents if they would be willing to pay an additional $20 per household in municipal taxes to support the financing of a lighting project.
According to Guida, the down payment for the entire project would be $35,000, with the township ultimately looking at payments of $70,000-$80,000 per year for the next ten years.
The Mendham Township Recreation Committee will hold one more listening session about this project on Mar. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the Brookside Engine Company to help facilitate conversations between the recreation committee and concerned residents.

MENDHAM, NJ — The senior leader of the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command used a variety of props to teach Mendham middle school students about honor and ethics.
Dr. Mitzi Morillo, Superintendent of Mendham Borough School District, invited Lt. Gen. Daniel Karbler, USASMDC commanding general, to speak to Mountain View Middle School students on Monday, Feb. 13.
The theme of the interactive presentation was "honor," with Karbler speaking specifically about how the honor code he learned at West Point has guided him throughout his personal and professional life.
Before the Mountain View Middle School students arrived, Karbler outlined a miniature football field in the front of the classroom, laying down about eight feet of white tape along the wall, including goal lines and hash marks.
"It’s the ethical playing field," Karbler told the nearly 70 eighth-grade students as he stood near the center of the taped-off area.
During the presentation, Karbler moved from each edge of the makeshift football field, repeatedly asking the students if he was in bounds or out of bounds. When he finally made it to the middle of the taped field, he asked again, "am I in bounds or out of bounds?" Both students in the back and front of the room answered in unison, "in bounds."
"I’m clearly in, and everybody knew that because I’m in the middle of the ethical playing field," Karbler said. "Conduct yourself so you’re always in the middle."Karbler encouraged students to not put themselves in positions where their honor, ethics, or truthfulness could be questioned."Don’t be the person who’s right here on the edge," he said. "Some will know your position, but others won’t be too sure."
Karbler told the eighth graders that life will present them with situations and pressures that will tempt them to cheat, lie, or steal, but they must choose how they respond.
"The West Point Honor Code says 'a cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.’ This is my model for honor and honorable living," Karbler said. "It’s a simple code, but it's hard to live by."
Karbler went on to demonstrate honor by pouring water on sand, pebbles and a brick.
According to Karbler, the water represented the difficult times in one's life. He then asked students to consider how they would react in situations where life becomes difficult.
"A brick doesn’t dissolve," he said. "It represents an honorable foundation. "When the going gets tough, someone with honor doesn’t collapse; they don’t let their integrity fall," Karbler said. "They stay tough."
Following the presentation, students were encouraged to reflect on the value of integrity and commitment and to create their own honor code to guide them through their final semester of middle school and beyond.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham sports community members have been advocating for increased street lighting in and around Mosle Field, but some Mendham residents are concerned about the potential environmental impacts of the new lights on the land.
The township recently heard and discussed a lighting proposal to spend $880,000 on upgrades at Mosle Fields, which would include new lighting on Mosle Field's football field, baseball field and parking lot.
Mendham Township Parks and Recreation Director David Guida addressed the committee, stating that the project had been in the works for several years but got pushed back as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the Feb. 14 committee meeting, local resident Mark Trokan expressed his concerns about the use of Mosle Field as an athletic space.
"This project with the lights up in Mosle, I understand that there are sports teams there now, that, within the last three years, have started to use it. This has traditionally been a preserve... Only recently has that become a regular practice area," Trokan said.
Mosle Field is a 120-acre park at the top of Hunters Glen Road that the township purchased in 2008. The preserve now has a football and baseball field, as well as hiking trails in the surrounding woods.
Trokan urged the committee to consider environmental protection when planning future development. He contended that converting an environmentally sensitive area into a regular practice field goes against the community's traditional nature and character.
In response, Randy Lee, a local football coach in the township, provided his own statement, saying that some of the information about the project was being, "blown out of proportion."
Lee claims that the proposal would only benefit the existing lighting system, which is made up of ten diesel-powered portable 20-foot light stands, that have lights shining out into the woods.
"We're really not proposing a big change here, we're not proposing a whole new stadium, a whole new turf field and all that stuff. We are just talking about lights. We are in desperate need," Lee said.
According to Guida, the Recreation Committee has been working with the sports leagues to replace their portable diesel-fueled lights in the parking lot and field with 90-degree downstream lights. The committee is also collaborating with the township engineer to determine whether we can use green energy sources.
The Mendham Township Recreation Committee is hosting another listening session about this project to help facilitate conversations between the recreation committee and concerned neighbors concerned about environmental impacts on the preserve.
The listening session will be held on Monday, Feb. 20, at 3 p.m. at the Brookside Community Club, 1 East Main Street, Brookside. The meeting's purpose will be to update the community on the project's status and to continue soliciting feedback from residents.
The proposal was presented to the council by the Mendham Parks and Recreation Committee, which cited a high need among local sports teams.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Township has big plans to light up its parks according to a lighting proposal to spend $880,000 on upgrades at Mosle Fields.
Mendham Township Parks and Recreation Director David Guida appeared before the township committee meeting on Monday night to provide an overview of potential park improvement options.
According to Guida, the Parks and Recreation Committee has been planning improvements to Mosle Field for several years but got their plans pushed back as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the recreation committee met with representatives from all types of local sports organizations, the two that were primarily discussed were the football and baseball teams.
"Football is an organization that really feels as though they have no home for their recreational sports. For the baseball league, there have been so many times when they have night games, or away games there is no location within their area where they are able to do this," Guida said. "So there is definitely a need within these organizations for additional playing spaces."
Guida stated that after speaking with the sports representatives, they were able to narrow their wishlist down to a single more feasible project for the township, which is new lights for the fields and parking lot.
The total cost of the project would be around $880,000, and it would include new lighting on Mosle Field's football field, baseball field, and parking lot. Guida stated that the recreation department would request that the township cover the entire cost of parking lot lighting and electrical services, which would amount to $180,000.
Guida also stated that in terms of long-term financing for the project, the township would bear half of the responsibility for covering the funding, with the other half coming from the local sports organization.
"The down payment would be $35,000, with the debt issued at $665,000, a 3.5 percent interest rate issued over ten years, so ultimately over the next ten years we'd be looking at a payment of $70,000-$80,000 per year, again this would be split 50/50 by the township and the sports leagues," Guida said.
Following the presentation, several children from local sports teams addressed the committee, stating that the current fields at Mosle are not suitable for the teams' full-time use. One of the speakers, a 12-year-old Mendham Township Middle School student, spoke about the fields' "terrible condition," claiming that the poor lighting and lack of dugouts on the baseball field make it difficult to play.
Most residents in attendance were enthusiastic about the upcoming improvements, including resident Randy Lee, a local football coach in the township, who stated unequivocally, "the need is now, we are in desperate need."
Concerns and comments were raised about the potential environmental impacts of the new lights on the land, with one resident claiming that the addition of the lights would necessitate increased irrigation to keep the grass alive.

MENDHAM, NJ — The trial date for an attempt to overturn the results of the Mendham Township Committee election, in which incumbent Tom Baio was defeated by candidate Lauren Spirig, has been set.
The expedited date was selected by Morris County Assignment Judge Stuart Minkowitz.
Both parties will appear before Minkowitz on Jan. 19 to hear Baio's claim that 33 voters should be rejected because they did not meet the residency requirements for voting in Mendham Township.
"There shall be no adjournments of the trial date absent extraordinary circumstances," Minkowitz said in the court order. "Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Court will not entertain applications for adjournments/continuances of the trial due to unavailability to witnesses."
Spirig's initial victory was quickly called into question by Baio, who lost by only three votes to Spirig.
The final results of the election were laid out again in a notice submitted to the court by Morris County Clerk Ann Grossi, naming Baio as the overall third-place candidate, earning 1,470 votes in the recount.
In response to the recount, Baio filed an official lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division, Civil Part Morris County, in Morristown, on Dec. 20, claiming voter fraud.

According to fellow township committee member Amalia Duarte, the lawsuit and challenge is a direct attack on young people's voting rights, as many of the challenges involve children of local residents who, despite allegedly no longer living at home, continue to vote within the township.
One of the voters named in the lawsuit is the daughter of Duarte, who resides in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Duarte previously expressed her displeasure with the Republican Committee's voter suppression attempt, claiming that young voters are a product of their community and consider Mendham to be their hometown, regardless of where they currently reside.
Many residents have spoken up demanding that Baio concede his November election loss against Spirig, asking him to "course correct and set an important example" for the children of the community.
